Where I go

Down by the river
Down by the sea
Lies a great big rock
And an old, old tree

The tree is all covered
With gray Spanish moss
Hanging in tendrils
Like yarn that was tossed

The rock is all splintered
In a million shards
As if it’d been hit
By something quite hard

And here I sit
To dream all day
Let the river and sea
Wash my cares away

I like this one.  Then again, the riverfront is my favorite place to go around here.  It has a soothing quality to me.  Nice write!

Sounds intriguing and like a great place to contemplate.  We all have our own places like what you describe, I'm sure.  Simply put, yet pleasingly visual...  thanks for the imagery.

Lisa~
Nice imagery.

I gaze out and see the Cypress trees with that lovely moss swaying.
It is a lovely sight.

Yes I like the river too. the sound of water is soothing.

Glad the imagery was pleasing.

Wasn't sure if it was right or not I've never seen it my self, except in movies. Just read about it or listened to others speak of it.
